The ultimate guide to spring brunch drinks — including two cocktail and two mocktail recipes your guests will ask about all season.
There's a reason mimosas and brunch belong together. The combination of bubbles and juice does something almost magical — it lifts the mood the moment it hits the glass, turns an ordinary morning into something worth toasting, and sets a sense of celebration in the air before anyone's even sat down.
We love a classic mimosa. Always will. But in true Provisions fashion, we like to push the flavour — and the experience — one step further. This spring, we're building a mimosa bar worthy of Easter brunch, Mother's Day morning, or honestly any Sunday that deserves a little sparkle.
The secret? Two of our Craft Cocktail Syrups: Passionfruit Mango and Raspberry Grenadine. Each one adds a layer of real, complex flavour that a splash of plain juice simply can't.

A mimosa bar is one of those hosting ideas that looks like it took effort but actually makes your morning easier. Set everything out before guests arrive — your bases, your juices, your syrups, your garnishes — and let people pour their own. It's interactive, inclusive, and endlessly customizable.
It also solves the perennial brunch hosting challenge: not everyone drinks, and not everyone wants the same thing. With mocktail options built right into the setup, every guest has something beautiful in their glass.
Here's everything you need to set it up, including four recipes (two cocktails, two mocktails) that work beautifully whether you're hosting a crowd or pouring for two.
Prosecco or champagne (the classic), Gin, Vodka, White Rum
Non-alcoholic sparkling wine (for an equally elegant mocktail)
Sparkling water (light, refreshing, universally loved)
Orange juice (classic, works with everything)
Pink grapefruit juice (slightly tart, pairs beautifully with berry)
Pineapple juice (tropical, unexpected)
Lemonade (bright and sweet — especially good with Raspberry Grenadine)
This is where your mimosa bar goes from good to genuinely memorable. Our Passionfruit Mango Craft Cocktail Syrup brings a juicy, tropical depth that transforms any sparkling drink into something that tastes like it was made by someone who really thought about it. Our Raspberry Grenadine Craft Cocktail Syrup delivers a lightly sweet, real-berry flavour that's a world away from the artificial grenadine you'll find everywhere else.
One ounce of either syrup is all it takes.
Citrus slices — orange, lemon, grapefruit
Fresh raspberry spears or mango ribbons
Fresh mint
A mix of flutes and tall collins glasses offer your guests choice and visual sophistication.
Ice for the mocktails

These four recipes work beautifully as standalone spring cocktail and mocktail ideas too — not just for a full mimosa bar setup. The Tropical Sunrise is a natural fit for Easter brunch or a spring garden party. The Berry Blush is made for Mother's Day morning. The mocktails hold their own at any gathering where you want every guest to feel equally considered.
Both Provisions syrups are also wonderful in non-brunch contexts — the Passionfruit Mango makes a beautiful summer spritz, and the Raspberry Grenadine is equally at home in an evening cocktail as it is in a morning mocktail. One bottle, endless occasions.
Our Passionfruit Mango and Raspberry Grenadine Craft Cocktail Syrups are available online and at specialty food and gift retailers across Canada. Made in Niagara Canada, with the same care and craft that goes into every Provisions product.
